licenses and permits

What is a “PAL” and how do I obtain one?

The acronym P.A.L. stands for Possession and Acquisition License. This term is used in place of Firearms Acquisition Certificates or F.A.C.

Firearms Acquisition Certificates (FAC) issued under the former law are considered to be licenses. They need to be replaced with a PAL
before they expire. The Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) is the only license currently available to new applicants. It is renewable
every five years. As a general rule, applicants must have passed the Canadian Firearms Safety Course in order to obtain one. Both the
restricted and non-restricted courses and license must be obtained in order to be employed for most jobs. (For more information, please

What is the “Canadian Firearms Safety Course”?

The Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) was developed in partnership with the provinces and territories, national organizations
with an ongoing interest in firearms safety, and many firearms and hunter education course instructors from across Canada. This course
was developed to meet the mandatory requirements set out in subparagraph 106(2)(c)(i) of the Criminal Code of Canada and came into effect
January 1, 1994. (For more information, please visit :

What is the “Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course”?

In accordance with the Firearms Act, a new firearms safety course focusing on restricted firearms (primarily handguns) was developed and implemented
on February 1, 1999. The legislation stipulates that individuals wishing to acquire restricted and/or prohibited firearms must take the Canadian Firearms
Safety Course (CFSC) and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) and pass the tests OR challenge and pass the CFSC and the CRFSC tests
without taking either course. (web site:
